Cellar Starter Wine Case

Another Bordeaux blanc that bewitched our buyers in our 2020 Wine Champions tastings, pale in colour, fresh and floral on the nose and clean-cut on the finish. This has been a member favourite for years, and tasting it blind confirmed just why. Superb.

A blend of different and complementary premiers crus which offer a soft, round and appealing expression of pinot noir. A charming and extroverted wine offering excellent value for money.

Opulent, multi-layered and seductive with generous spicy flavour, this is one of Italy's great reds. Graticci are the straw mats on which the perfect fruit is laid for a short time in the Puglian sun to intensify the flavour.

South African chardonnay that is a testament to the cool climate concentration and clarity of fruit common in wines from the Elgin Valley, with its rich fruit and classy oak.

We have once again agreed a great price on this wine which gives a great introduction to Joel Peterson's famously "no wimpy wine" style. This Californian zinfandel is from vines planted on sandy soils in the 1880s, leading to a characterful wine of spiced blackberry, mocha and intense red fruit that is best decanted.

Lovely traditional-style wine, a blend of 40% malbec, 40% cabernet sauvignon and 20% merlot, aged in large oak vats for nine-and-a-half years until soft and mellow. With soothing, mature notes of tobacco, cedar and leather, this has some similarities with Musar and Rioja reservas but with its own Argentine twist.
